I’ve talked about the fantastic that is Wordle before. Basically, you can cut and paste any text into the little box, and it will make a word cloud for you of the most used words in that text.
I love this for books because it always catches my tendency to overuse just.
And like, apparently…
But, it does other superfly things as well. I can upload my blog’s RSS feed and it will scan the last ten entries.
Dang, I really love WriteOnCon, don’t I?
I wonder what happens when I do my twitter feed…
Sigh. I think what we should all take away from this is that I should definitely be writing for teens because I’m still one myself.

LOL, Jamie! Wordle is pretty cool. Hey, don't feel bad - the best books for kids are written by people who never grew up. So you're destined for greatness!
